Skip to comments.The States Can Do It. They can restore the Constitution
Posted on 05/06/2009 2:28:07 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
The States still have the power and the means to bring the Federal Government into compliance with the intent of the Founders, but to do so they must be willing to kill the Sacred Cow of American politics - democracy.
Mostly unheralded and unknown, the Founding Fathers feared and rejected it.
Examination of Farrand's Records, (The minutes and journal of the 1787 convention) clearly reveals the Founders' intent. For instance:
Gerry, "The evils we experience (in the confederation) flow from an excess of democracy."
Madison describing Randolph: "the General Object (of the Convention) was to find a cure for the evils under which the U.S. laboured; that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy."
Writing in Humanitas, Vol IX, No 2, C. H. Hoebeke, correctly describes the attitude and objective of the delegates as, "Having in the short span of eleven years experienced the violent swing of the political pendulum from abusive monarchy to abusive majoritarianism, and in the process discovered that life, liberty, and property were no more secure under the latter than they had been under the former, the Constitution's framers saw the will of the people as a force to be restrained and refined, not unleashed and encouraged."
Their only concession to election by the people is the House of Representatives.
Election of the President would be by a slate of electors appointed by the State Legislatures, two steps removed from popular election.
The Senate was to be the lynchpin of our protection. The Senators, appointed by the State Legislatures would be a body of deliberative Statesmen, our guardians, immune to the whims of popular causes. In Farrand's Records, we find:
Madison: "It (the Senate) would keep up the balance and restrain, if possible, the fury of Democracy."
Randolph: "The object of this 2nd branch (Senate) is to control the democratic branch of the National Legislature."
In Federalist No. 63, (author unknown) believed to be Hamilton or Madison, in reference to the Senate, wrote, ". . . .there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?"
As perfect as the Constitution was, there was a weak link, the poison pill of democracy lurked in the future. All of the State Legislatures were and still are products of democracy, popular election. This would prove to be our undoing. When the Populists mounted a campaign to undo what the Founding Fathers had done, they exploited this point of vulnerability.
Starting in the 1820s, massive public campaigns convinced the State Legislators, dependent on the people for reelection, to delegate their power to appoint the Presidential electors to popular election by the people. This prompted Alexis de Tocqueville to remark that the "American republics will be obliged more frequently to introduce the plan of election by an elected body into their system of representation, or run the risk of perishing miserably on the shoals of democracy."
Later in the 19th Century, the Populists manipulated the appointment process of Senators into a state of near chaos. In 1913 a new batch of legislators dependent on the people for reelection bowed once again to popular demand and turned the selection of Senators over to popular election when they ratified the 17th Amendment.
It didn't happen instantly, but over the span of a few years the allegiance of the Senators shifted to the Washington power structure and there is where it resides to this day.
The transition was complete. The nation became and still is a democracy, exactly what the Founding Fathers tried to prevent. What we have, the outward cause of the Tea Parties and Sovereignty Resolutions, is exactly what they wanted to thwart and should be proof enough of their wisdom,
The State Legislatures must do three things to turn this around and they are the only ones who can do it.
1. Take back the power to appoint the Presidential electors. A majority vote in the legislature is all it will take to cancel the popular presidential elections, primary and general. It should be done now but with a delayed effective date - no earlier than February 1, 2013 to show it is not directed at the incumbent.
2. The Legislatures must come together as a cohesive unit to draft the amendment necessary to repeal the 17th Amendment. As a united group they send it to Congress with a request to enact and return it to the States for ratification. If Congress fails to or refuses to act, go to court, contending that submittal of an identical amendment by more than three fourths of the States constitutes a de facto ratification. Therefore, the court should order the Archives to accept and process it as such. The Populist lawyers will say this is not possible, because the States will not have standing to support the action. This, however, will not be a problem. Standing is virtually assured.
3. Immediately do whatever is necessary within each State to restructure the Legislature to be in line with the original configuration of Congress. House of Representatives? Popular election. The Senates? Each County will have one Senator who is appointed by the County Commission. The purpose of this is three fold.
First: It demonstrates their willingness to do for themselves what they demand of Congress.
Second: It affords their citizens a higher degree of protection from them. Congress does not have an exclusive on legislative tyranny.
Third: It helps prevent the same mistake by future legislators.
This will do it if the State Legislatures have the backbone and determination to see it through. Otherwise, the rocky "shoals of democracy" await us.
Interesting stuff.
The Genie of democracy is out of the bottle. The sheeple have already made their three wishes and must suffer the consequences. The republic cannot be restored now except by spilling the blood of tyrants and patriots.
I agree, but we need people willing to push this in each state. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions come to mind.
I believe obamarama would order the US Military to confront any state that might seriously challenge his authority. Hopefully our Military leaders would not honor his order.
Repeal of the 17th Amendment would be a good start. Have our Senators again represent their State and not the electorate. Of course, there's little chance of this happening.
how many tyrants and how many patriots?
just do the math
I know where the odds lay and who they are in favor of
Certainly not the first time this has been been posted, but . . .
Not long ago on FR there was great criticism made by some against others who made the distinction between a democracy and a republic.
Both interesting and important are the distinctions made between a democracy and a republic by the United States War Department (now called the Department of Defense) in 1928, in Training Manual No. 2000-25. This manual was "Prepared under the direction of the Chief of Staff" for military officers on the subject of citizenship. We reproduce the pertinent portion of Training Manual 2000-25 here.
: A government of the masses.
: Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression results in mobocracy.
: Attitude toward property is communistic, negating property rights.
: Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
: Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
: Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
: Attitude toward [governance] is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure.
: Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
: A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
: Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.
: Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
Helping us to more clearly understand the results of democracy, Professor Alexander Tytler penned the following words in America over 230 years ago, when the American colonies where still under the British Crown.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back again to bondage.
BTTT for a later read.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. ~ H. L. Mencken
Most excellent.
Is there a link to this authors works?
"The Genie of democracy is out of the bottle. The sheeple have already made their three wishes and must suffer the consequences. The republic cannot be restored now except by spilling the blood of tyrants and patriots."
God help us.
I agree with this idea... but states could also shrug off federal dominance by rejecting any and all federal money for anything. No federal money means no federal control over said money.
BTTT for later
Yeah, yeah !
Can't have all them civilians runnin' around with no one in charge !!
Tell me: When you pledge allegiance to the flag (assuming you do so), and you stand tall, with your hand over your heart, do you keep your fingers crossed ?
That this makes no sense is beside the point. Obviously the purpose of the Senate of the federal body was not "one-man, one vote." It made the States equal in status, not the people as in the House. Only one state has a unicameral legislature, and no one would prefer that the Senates of the States afford status to the counties. It's an excellent notion. Unfortunately, the strangle hold of lobbyists and the legislative-culture have created fifty little Washingtons, each with its own subculture and language and score cards. Above many of them are the even more invisible lawyers of the Civil Rights Section of the U.S. Justice Department.
The average legislator in the U.S. is a step below a Congressman in attention-span, which is slightly less than that of a circus monkey. The razzle-dazzle of legislative sessions and the jaded Mandarin classes of professional legislative staff would easily block these measures on a legislative level.
I can think of no way to get around this other than for candidates to add these to their platforms while running for office. I know it seems counter-intuitive, but perhaps the only way to combat these Populist subversions is by a kind of populist strategy. Perhaps that's the way it should be.
Our governor is too busy kissing liberal butts to worry about it now!
Bookmark. Looks good. Gotta go to work.
"I believe obamarama would order the US Military to confront any state that might seriously challenge his authority. Hopefully our Military leaders would not honor his order."
Instead, I beleive a strong chance the men in uniform will realize the illegitimacy of the present govt. and could influence any order Zero makes.
Might happen in a few states, in part, but that's all.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
Well, here we are.
The Senates? Each County will have one Senator who is appointed by the County Commission. The purpose of this is three fold.
This is state senate, right ???
In TN we have 33 state senators...
However we have 95 counties....
95 state senators ??? 3 times the cost ???
That would be a hard sell...
There are two problems with this proposal. A claim from two-thirds of the states that a request for a particular amendment is the same of a normal proposal of an amendment, is defeated by the express language of the Fifth Amendment. No Court is going to accept that argument. However, the legislatures DO have the power to switch back to direct appointment of Electoral College members. But the big money interests who currently buy and sell US Senators could buy and sell state legislators by the dozen.

Latest article, "Ben Franklin (Congressman Billybob) at Knoxville Tea Party"
He didn't supply one. You can send him an email at the address in Reply #2 to see if he has a web page.
There is also a Yahoo group called Repeal the 17th Amendment if you want to join. That is where the article was submitted in the first place.
Think of Texas: that state has 254 counties. It's quite possible that Tennessee and Texas could have state Senators appointed some other way. For example, Texas has 20 Councils of (local) Governments, so these councils could appoint 2 Senators apiece, giving Texas 40 Senators instead of 254. Tennessee could do something similar, if it has Councils of Governments.
I looked it up, and discovered that Texas actually has 24 regional Councils of Governments. The idea would be that all the county commissioners of the various counties in each region would get together as one body and appoint their two state Senators. That's how I imagine it happening, anyhow. So Texas would have 48 state Senators representing the combined county governments of 24 regions.
Hopefully our Military leaders would not honor his order.
They wouldn't. Officers are not sworn to obey the CIC. They are sworn to defend the Constitution.
Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment/States Rights so I can engage the pinger.
I've stopped scouring threads and unilaterally adding names to the ping list, so if you want on or off the list just say so.

Thank you so much for the ping... They definitely need to make a line in the sand (standing on the 10th Amendment). And THEN they need to pass more "repeal/reinstatement" of rights laws as was just done in Montana.
Another good place to work through is strong legislation or restoration of rights in regards to other items of commerce, and overstepping federal regulations — like agriculture (especially their plans to hurt gardeners, family, hobby and organic farming in this country), and limit food sources of the public by effectively shutting down farmer's markets and road-side stands due to oppressive unnecessary regulations...
JMHO, on all of this. It's the best way to reassert some of our power as WE THE PEOPLE of this nation — through our states... Others will follow examples set as well, I am SURE of it due to the sheer number of laws the states "must answer to" in regards to the Federal Gov't. It's good "direct action" that can also be supported by the grassroots members of the Tea Party Movement! (Hint, Hint! lOL)
This blows my mind. I can't believe the Birkenstock crowd is going for this! Just shows how much of a mental illness Liberalism is!
Oh, F*ck! Pardon my French...
Actually, some of them are as tee'd off as we are. I looked at some liberal "organic"/"Green" website forums when I heard of these regulations, and on this issue they sounded much like some of our threads did. Citing the same problems...
Of course, our media won't report that — just like they won't report that the Montana governor who just passed the "Gun Right Restoration"-type law and challenged Obama is a Democrat, either. Too embarrassing for them to cover it... Better to call everyone (even "bi-partisan" so to speak oppositions as "fringe" — just like they did to the various grassroots and independents who attended the tea parties. Putting everyone who disagrees in a tidy little box... Just like a good dictator with an "agendized" press.).
BTW: That's another reason I thought it was a good issue for states to pick to assert their states' rights claims into. It would receive a WIDE range of public support from MANY, MANY people on "both sides". [And maybe, just maybe, help to "cure" some of the smarter liberals from their misconceptions as well...].
Heh. I understand there's another round of TEA Parties planned for the 4th of July -- Independence Day! I agree the TEA Parties would be better served by enlarging their tent to include the 10th Amendment and other State initiatives in their cause. This whole movement really is more about individual and State sovereignty than it is about taxes per se.
There are already hundreds of Tea Parties planned for July 4th:

http://www.teapartyrevolution.com/#schedule - another list of Tea Parties
http://www.reteaparty.com/teaparties/ - another list of tea parties
I say we lay seige to the metro areas to see how long they can hold out. Things might become very interesting in a hurry ;^)
As best I can tell, this proposal follows the process laid out in Article 5. Why is it not a normal process, and how does the Fifth Amendment defeat it?
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Article 5
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of it's equal Suffrage in the Senate.
VERY good information! Thanks.
CC: Jim Robinson & Kristinn — Apologies for the ping, I just don't know who would be best to forward some of these ideas to here at FR, and if you DO happen to think them to be good ideas feel free to forward them or something! :)
The argument that the Tea Party Movement is all about Taxes, Healthcare, and Social Security is Obama, his minions, and the "agenda-ized" media's attempt at defining the issues (common political strategy to minimize opponents strength and steer the debate).
We need to somehow get out in front of that attempt, and QUICKLY, and IMHO the best way to do that would be to start supporting all various laws and such that use the Constitution as the backbone of its arguments. {Like the 10th Amendment Efforts, Montana's New Gun "Repeal/Reinstatement"-like law, Texas' and Oklahoma's efforts as well as other state efforts to assert their rights, and draw that line in the stand.
Because truly that IS the backbone of our anger, frustration, and complaints with our governments (yes, states included!) — they have ignored the Chains of the Constitution, and seek more power on a daily basis using the "claimed" power of the Federal Government as the basis of their actions. These actions are NOT sanctioned by our Constitution.
The people in charge of the Federal Government (Obama and his peeps) are completely against the concept of states' rights — something our forefathers found CRITICAL to address in the framing of this Republic. They will use every excuse to limit the power of the people and the States, however, within the states is where we can still assert our rights as a group of people, and several states as an even stronger base of support.
I don't know how to go about getting out in "front" of the issue definers given our present state of dealing with a totally biased media, but somehow it must be done, ASAP. The planned tea parties on July 4th may definitely underscore the issue, but there needs to be some type of media presence between now and then. We need to somehow be recognized in nearly EVERY news cycle at least SOMEWHERE within the country...
Whether this means small groups organizing locally on their own in the meantime perhaps underscoring that "we're still here", and better define the "movement" so to speak. Or maybe, letters to the editor and such, will help to keep this subject in the "citizens' conscience" so to speak... Some more conservative or more ethical papers may even award a page on the issue or more coverage if they receive a lot of letters on a given issue.
Another idea would be to write to your state representatives, and see which ones are on "our side" regarding these issues. Support them and help them get the support they need to feel strong enough to introduce these types of laws in YOUR states. Start talking about issues like the agriculture issue I mentioned, or gun rights... You can still mention the other three issues, but these things, IMHO, should be spoken of in a Constitutional framework so as to minimize the left's ability to counter-attack our positions.
Individuals need to study the Constitution, and also learn how the Federal Government has used certain clauses to claim power it really doesn't have in many areas. If we establish our States' Rights, it will severely limit the Federal Government's power to go ahead with its planned Fascist/Authoritarian plans. And it will also put us in a great position to field candidates (even INDEPENDENT Conservatives — like the farmers, and "regular folk" who our forefathers believed in — who could have name recognition in their communities) to replace our leaders in DC come 2010...
Taking back the House of Representatives would be something that would fit well with this plan as Representatives are from smaller geographic areas, and it would be easier to support a contender in that way...
If there is one thing I'm pretty sure ALL Tea Party supporters can support and agree completely on, it's that our Constitution is the HIGHEST law in the land, provides us the basis for knowing we have that leg to stand on, so to speak. It is what guarantees us the RIGHT, and responsibility to throw off the chains of oppression and kick out of office anyone who doesn't follow our Constitutionally based laws, period.
If we all followed that line of unified voice — it's short enough, easiest to understand, and easiest to impart in the era of sound-bites as well. That is my heartfelt opinion on how best the TEA party participants can come together to show a united front against tyranny of government. Adherence to the Constitution will address ALL issues they will attempt to throw at us, and as the Highest law in the land, again we will ALWAYS have the "upper-hand" in public discourse so to speak.
When we start speaking as our forefathers spoke to some extent (though modernized, but not complicated), people will know the truth of what they hear. Our educational system isn't COMPLETELY overrun yet. AND, the Communists/Fascist/Dictators haven't been "clean" of transgression long enough, and indeed there are still examples today that the majority of the world's society does remember the oppression and evil.
An entire generation of kids like myself grew up at the end of the USSR, we saw it at its worst, and we saw what happened when people gained freedom. And our numbers are great. And, more and more younger generation members are waking up to what a joke Obama is as well...
I don't truly believe the Democrats have support among the people as they think. They may be in DC, but they are totally out of touch with the "mood on the street" against DC's actions, IMHO.
Just my opinion...

Yes, but I would much prefer to listen to dEUS for one hour than a cyclist...
Who puts out the most power, a top racing cyclist or a rock drummer? In this video, 'Energy Battle', energy company Eneco's 'Ministry of Sustainability' aims to find out.
The video's in Flemish, but it's pretty obvious what's going on. Lotto Belisol rider Jurgen Van den Broeck is pitched in a battle of power output against Stéphane Misseghers, drummer of rock band dEUS (the Belgian Elbow, according to Q magazine).
The Ministry of Sustainability series of ads for Eneco features three teenagers - Brecht, Kero and Ine - coming up with crazy plans for sustainable energy solutions. That's them in the video, demonstrating that teenage TV presenters are annoying even across a language barrier. (And they can get off my lawn too.)
Katrien Denef, PR manager for Eneco Belgium said: "The idea of the "energy battle between cyclist and drummer" was created by our advertising agency Dallas. We thought this was a great idea because it's about cycling, a sustainable sport, which we care about a lot. We organize the race of the Low Countries, the Eneco Tour.
"We chose Jurgen Van den Broeck because he's thought to be the next yellow jersey of Belgium. He's a top rider who's also a nice person. We put him next to dEUS drummer Stéphane Misseghers to see who produces the most energy in thirty seconds."
Who wins? You'll have to watch the video.
Our official grumpy Northerner, John has been riding bikes for over 30 years since discovering as an uncoordinated teen that a sport could be fun if it didn't require you to catch a ball or get in the way of a hulking prop forward.
Road touring was followed by mountain biking and a career racing in the mud that was as brief as it was unsuccessful.
Somewhere along the line came the discovery that he could string a few words together, followed by the even more remarkable discovery that people were mug enough to pay for this rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. He's pretty certain he's worked for even more bike publications than Mat Brett.
The inevitable 30-something MAMIL transition saw him shift to skinny tyres and these days he lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.

Perceval: La quête du Graal (The Quest for the Grail), Vol. 1 based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
On this first volume of ¿Perceval: The Quest for the Grail¿, La Nef does not perform medieval music per se, but rather, uses period instruments to play traditional and original melodies in the accompaniment of singers telling a story. While probably stunning as a theatrical performance, ¿Perceval¿s¿ strength as an audio recording lies in the wonderful way in which arranger/lutenist Sylvain Bergeron has chosen or constructed melodic themes for each character so that they flow together, and at key points, function as motets--all layered, one upon another. Track #s 8, 17, 22 and 23 are particularly beautiful and compelling examples of this technique. According to the program notes, ¿La Nef is now proposing its own version of the myth of the Grail, a somewhat original `collage¿, which incorporates elements borrowed from Medieval Play, Baroque Opera, and more contemporary styles¿ An important part of the musical material is drawn from the traditional repertory of the British Isles.¿ The language sung is French, adapted from the text of 12th century writer Chretien de Troyes. The story is a coming of age tale, but the insert points out that ¿Perceval is [not] a typical hero of chivalry¿[He] follows his impulses without a thought for the consequences, abandons his mother, then [his love] Blancheflor, gets within inches of the Grail without noticing anything and is presumptuous enough to leave the court of King Arthur because he finds it overrated¿(!) Nevertheless, the music is overflowing with youthful innocence and charm, enhanced by countertenor Daniel Taylor¿s enchanting performance as Perceval. While this concept is not something that would have grabbed my attention when reading about it, the resulting music is remarkably moving. Don¿t miss an opportunity to purchase this recording! La Nef continues the story of Perceval in ¿Perceval: The Quest for the Grail, Volume 2¿.

Nice house at the beautiful island
Many thanks to Randi and Eyðfinn for the perfect stay in that house in August! A week went really fast! The house as well as the island of Suduroy are really nice placies to spend holiday days! All necessary facilities are available in the house (except a washing machine which would be nice to have, but we think there is not enough space for that one) and they are in good condition. Many details told us that the owners have put a lot of their hearth to this home! We highly recommend that house!
Excellent house
Great house. Extremely well equipped. Everything required was available. House was clean, modern, with a nice and homelike/comfortable atmosphere. The owner provided prior and during the stay interesting information and helped to organize excursions (perfect customer service). Excellent location within a housing complex and great playground for the kids (playground divided in three areas for the different age classes). Our kids could play with the local kids. Just great. We enjoyed the stay and relaxed well. And Faroer is just fascinating!

Clegg: No Decision Made on Academy Category
Thursday, 8th Dec 2011 09:02
Town chief executive Simon Clegg says the Blues are still to make a decision on whether to opt for Academy Category One or Two status when the changes to the system come into force next season.
He says that while the club knows the figures involved - an annual cost of £1.5 million plus a £750,000 grant from the Premier League for Category One or £480,000 plus a grant of another £480,000 for Category Two – the full details of what will be involved are not yet clear.
Clegg, manager Paul Jewell and owner Marcus Evans will weigh up the pros and cons: "It's a decision the three of us will come to," he said.
"At the moment they've not given us the full detail of what's involved. They've given us the figures, which [for Category One] are a significant increase on what we're spending at the moment.
"You have to say, what are the benefits of Category One? And one of the benefits is that you can effectively poach on a nationwide basis, but you need to think realistically how many parents from just outside Newcastle are going to let someone under the age of 15 relocate down to Ipswich?
"Most people who have got young teenagers in an ideal world would want them to grow up at home and be able to continue their footballing skills within the normal family arrangement."
Norwich City have said they will be opting for Category One - Town Academy manager Sammy Morgan's preference from a footballing perspective - but Clegg says that doesn't necessarily mean the Blues will follow their lead, despite fears that Town's youth set-up might be viewed as a second class system: "We won't be forced into it. What we will do is do the right thing for this football club.
"We will continue to invest and prioritise the Academy accordingly and we will continue to select players when it's right and when they are ready to move into the first team.
"But let's not lose sight of the additional money that's going to cost and you have to weigh up the financial benefits in the context of financial fair play.
"It may well be that youth development sits outside that, that's still to be decided and that's something which has been mooted, but it's still an important consideration in terms of the overall financing of a football team. "
He says he's well aware of the cash brought in by selling Town's young talent over the years: "I've done a huge analysis in terms of how much money has been generated by the Academy over the years.
"You only need to throw a Connor Wickham, a Titus Bramble or a Kieron Dyer every few years. It's quite interesting to look at those figures."
As for the financial fair play developments which Championship clubs signed up to earlier in the year, he says the details of how clubs move to a break-even model are amongst the many unknowns at present: "Nothing's been set yet, that's the challenge. "
"There's going to be a level of deviation that you're allowed over a period of time. The period of time and the level of deviation is still being determined. There's still a lot of detail to go on this. I'm told we will get a formal presentation in February."
Clegg and Town back the proposals with the Blues' and other sides' debts growing year on year as clubs compete to sign the best players at this level: "The club supports it as a matter of principle. I come at this like the 23 other clubs in the Championship and that is that we'll agree with it as long as we can retain some competitive advantage.
"I'm not going to agree to something which is going to be financially disadvantageous to us over and above the other teams. But, of course, every other club is looking at it in exactly the same way."
The Blues chief admits to being not overly happy with the way the changes to the youth system came about: "I have to say I was hugely frustrated with the academy thing. We were held to ransom by the Premier League.
"Eighteen months ago we agreed to a new solidarity payment and part of the agreement to that was the complete review and restructuring of the academy set-up, and now we find ourselves in this position.
"Would we have voted for the solidarity agreement 18 months ago if we knew what we knew now? I don't know. The answer to that probably is yes because, let's not kid ourselves, the Football League is totally dependent on the financial support of the Premier League to continue."
Meanwhile, a recent graduate of the Academy, midfielder Reggie Lambe, who was released by the club last summer, has had his move to MLS side Toronto FC confirmed.
The 20-year-old will be working under Blues legend Paul Mariner, who is the Canadian club's director of player development.

Hash-based join is a compute- and memory-intensive algorithm. It achieves good performance and scales well to large datasets, if sufficient memory is available to hold the hash table and the distribution of computing had across nodes is balanced. We compare three adaptive algorithms that start with a partitioning of the hash table across a group of nodes and expand during the hash table building phase to additional resources, when memory on a node is used up. The split-based algorithm partitions the hash table range assigned to the node, on which memory is full, into two segments and assigns one of the segments to a new node in the system. The replication-based algorithm replicates the hash table range on a new node. The hybrid algorithm combines the first and second strategies in order to address each strategy's short comings. We perform an experimental performance evaluation of these algorithms on a PC cluster. Our results show that among the three algorithms, in most cases the hybrid algorithm either performs close to the better of the two or is the best algorithm.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Cardinals provided 'worst QB tandem performance'
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo the combination of John Skelton and Ryan Lindley provided "arguably maybe the worst quarterback tandem performance" he's seen in a long time.
Anyone want to argue?
The passers combined to complete just 11-of-27 passes for 70 yards — though the team gained just 41 net yards through the passing game due to three sacks. The Cardinals ended up losing to the Atlanta Falcons despite the defense coming up with six turnovers.
It was Arizona's sixth-straight defeat, and with the season seemingly spinning out of control the topic of conversation has been Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt's decision to pull Skelton from the game in the first quarter.
Skelton, who had completed just 2-of-7 passes, was inaccurate, and missing a wide-open Larry Fitzgerald on what should have been a touchdown pass was likely the final straw.
"You just don't make that decision after seven passes," Jaworski said. "That decision was made on the complete body of work of John Skelton. How he's done this season, last season, training camp, mini camps, his complete body of work.
"So there had to be something that really bothered Ken Whisenhunt about John Skelton's game."

31 year old mom of two, a 6 yr old girl and a 1 year old boy. Had my Mirena inserted in Feb/08.

Ease of Use
I had Mirena inserted over 2 months ago. The insertion was easy, just minor discomfort; however, I have been bleeding almost non-stop since that day. There have been 2 days that I have not bled. And I have zero sex drive. Unfortunately my insurance did not cover this so I am stuck paying it off for the next 8 months. So I'm going to try and suck it up until then.

How to make use of a professional organization?
I'm in grad school for a masters in counseling, and our teachers are telling us we need to join listservs and professional organizations, so we know what's happening in our field right now. My issue is this: I have limited time every day, and I'm ADHD. Given these factors, how involved should I get in professional organizations? Are they helpful? Or are they the yearbook committee of the post-graduate world? [more inside]
What to do with my grad school notes and readings after grad school?

Dear prof, you're the only helpful member of my committee. Please leave.
I'm in my mumble year of grad school in a humanities field and will at long last be filing my dissertation this semester. I don't want to stay in academia, so I don't care how good or bad the thesis is; it just needs to be good enough to file. My advisor and two other committee members will probably sign off on anything. The fourth member is the problem. She's helpful, conscientious and would be likely to have lots of good suggestions for improvement. I want her off my committee. [more inside]
evening computer science classes in NYC?
I'd like to take a computer science class after work, with as little hoop-jumping as possible. My interests are broad: compilers, programming languages, type theory, distributed systems, OS, numerical analysis.

Is this possible? Any NYC-specific recommendations? [more inside]
Reputation in an academic department – should I stay or should I go?
When I was an undergrad, I took a class with a high-profile professor, had a bit of a personal crisis, and handled relations with him poorly. I'm now hoping to do my doctorate in the same department. Do I have a chance of forging a good academic career there, or should I move on? [more inside]

Is getting a MPA/MPP degree in Europe useless for work in the US?
I'm considering pursuing a degree to further my career in child welfare, educational and cultural non-profits. As I'd love to spend time living abroad and I wouldn't get into a especially impressive school here in the US, I'm wondering if it would be useless to get my degree from a university in Europe (most likely in the UK). If it is worth doing, what schools should I be looking at? Would I be eligible for any sort of financial aid?
I want to quit my PhD but I am faced with an ethical dilemma.
I have just started the second year of my PhD in History (fully funded), and I want to quit because I don't enjoy it and it is making me miserable.

I don't think I have any legal obligations to stay / generate any more output, but do I have a moral obligation? [more inside]

My son is a junior physics/math major at a small midwestern state university. He needs to start looking at graduate programs. He would prefer to stay in research or academia. How can I help him start this process? (B.S. for me) Location is not an issue. It's more a question of what programs offer the best opportunities and fields of study. How can we find out that kind of information? How can I help him start with a reasonable number of candidates?
If I reapply to grad school, will my application get shot down?
An academic mentor says I should wait a year and submit The Strongest Application Ever to guarantee my acceptance.

My depression seems to have come roaring back all at once this weekend. I know how to take care of myself in the long-term scale, but I have an important and difficult life event in two days, and a lot of work to do in the interim. [more inside]
Whom should I ask for a letter of recommendation?
I'm a liberal arts major who wants to study Nutrition Science. I know that a letter of recommendation from a community college teacher generally doesn't carry as much weight as a letter from someone teaching at a university. Unfortunately, I have only taken science classes at the community college level. Is my case an exception? [more inside]
Unsavory colleagues: How do you deal?
I'm in a specialized graduate program and I love what I do, but I have a difficult time dealing with some of the strong personalities in my class. I have one year left, but the dynamics are toxic and draining, and it's affecting my well-being. Seeking suggestions and strategies for survival! [more inside]

Cumbria removal company Top tips for moving house
1) As soon as you decide to move, go through your house and throw stuff out! If you've not used it in a year, recycle it, sell it or give it to charity.
2) It is far better to have lots of smaller boxes that people can lift than just a few big boxes that no one can budge. Take my word for it!
3) Start packing early, it takes much longer than you think. Start with winter gear if it's summer or vice versa, you'll find there are loads of things that you don't use every day and that can be packed in advance
4) Contact the post office so that your post gets forwarded to your new address.
5) Contact everyone who needs to have your new address – family and friends, but also your employer, the tax office, the electoral roll, the bank, your GP, your children's school/nursery etc.
6) If you have pets, remember to change the address on their chip.
7) Now is a good time to compare home insurance and utilities' providers to see whether you can save money elsewhere. Just check that you are not tied into an existing contract before signing up to anything new – you don't want to end up with two contracts and double the expenses!
8) If you're packing your own boxes, here is my top OCD tip – number the boxes and list what is in each box.
9) Find someone reliable to look after your children all day – moving always takes longer than you expect.
10) If you have dogs and cats, work out where they will be while you're moving; we keep the dog in the garden and we choose one room in each house, that we don't need to access (much), for the cats to be in.
11) Once you have moved everything into the new place remember that you won't get everything unpacked the first day, or even the first week, so my suggestion is to get your children's bedrooms and your bedroom ready first, then at least everyone can collapse into bed when they need to.
12) Try not to stress, moving house is tough but take it one step at a time and enjoy your new home.
13) Don't forget to chill some champagne to toast your new home!

Recent reviews
Good 3.4 /5 from 132 reviews
It was so bad we cancelled our stay of 3 nights to just one. We would have cancelled that night but it was too late as we arrived around 10pm. The room was small, the bed was hard as a rock, there was one sheet on the bed and no pad underneath, the pillows were half the size of normal pillows, the tv was from 1990, the carpet had stains (some that were still wet) and last but not least the roaches ruled the night!! So don't turn off the lights! The next morning we noticed That they even had a can of roach spray right on the main counter. The breakfast was garbage. The coffee brewing pot was left wide open without a cover and the women at the front counter was just finishing up killing a few roaches with the spray!! I would suggest that unless your life depended on it don't stay here! (Maybe not even then!)
The front desk guy was very nice and polite he had great customer service skills and was very welcoming to me
We needed a place to wait 3 weeks until the close of our house. This was the perfect affordable home away from home. Staff friendly (especially the young man who checked us in). It was clean, quiet, safe and provided a great base location to visit Spartanburg, Greenville, and the Gaffney outlet mall. I don't understand the other reviews about unfriendly people, as all were nice. Maids were great at keeping our room clean. Breakfast typical continental but well stocked. Obviously not the Hilton, but if you need a safe, quiet, clean place don't count this out.
Many of the light fixtures in the room didn't work. Air conditioner rattled excessively. A lot of noise from the highway all night long.

With every passing day you get older your skin deteriorates at a more rapid pace. Once you reach your twenties your skin takes a turn and becomes more susceptible to outside forces.

Re: webcam not detected
I went through the document and came up with following results:
1)Webcam neither works with pre-installed program nor with any third party messanger.
2)I have tried downloading and installing latest version of HP MediaSmart.
4)I also tried YouCam.
5)I don't remember exactly when webcam stopped working. Last month I took my laptop to HP service centre where they restored it to factory settings and installed latest softwares but webcam is still not working.
6)Since webcam stopped working, option of 'Imaging Devices' disappeared from Device manager list. (I should have mentioned it earlier)
7)when I start MediaSmart I 'settings' option is unavailable. So I can't change in that also.
Please suggest any other possible solution.
Thanks in advance.

Re: webcam not detected
if the camera disappeared from Device manager - it must be a hardware issue, please go for service on this and service team may need to replace the webcam.

Tried several patches from HP with no luck so I tried this and it friggin worked!!! Go to this website and download this patch SP34746 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa
Re: webcam not detected
It didn't work for me. Looks like a hardware malfunction.
Re: webcam not detected
My webcam and bluetooth device both were not detected and I tried removing my laptop's battery and then kept the power key pressed for at least 10 seconds and now the issue is resolved. Both the devices are visible and working fine now.
The issue here was due the STATIC charge on the laptop which somehow interferes with the functioning of the internal devices.
Re: webcam not detected
Hi! After trying numerous things I found a fix, which should solve the "Webcam not Detected problem"
- Remove the two rubber coverings at the bottom corners of the screen
- Unscrew the two screws
- Gently peel back the plastic rim of the screen (it will unclip best near where you took the screws out)
- Make sure you do not peel back the bottom half of the rim as it is attached to the laptop chassis
- After that, there are two more screws inside the rim near the top left and right corners
- You should now see the webcam
- Push the small white plug that is on the right hand side of the webcam into place that has small wires going into it
The white plug seemed firmly ok on mine, but after I pushed it in more, and fiddled around with it, the imaging devices list appeared in device manager and the Webcam worked when I restarted the laptop.
I put this down to loose connection
Best of luck, hope this helps!
